All I *require* is a belief along the same lines as mine....doesnt mean that if Im church of god I wont be with a baptist (cause thats whatI and Dave are respectively). I wouldnt marry a catholic or a mormon because their belief's are different from mine, even though we believe in the same God. I MOST definitely wouldnt be with an atheist.
As I have stated before....its not that I wouldnt be friends with any of the above.....I am....but I wouldnt want to marry someone that could not understand and relate to my core belief's

Shoot. Shani beat me to my answer. Adding to that answer...
I prefer to share all aspects of my life with my serious partner. That said, I would prefer someone whose morals/values/religious beliefs are the same as mine. But it is *necessary* for theirs to be close to mine in order to have a serious relationship. Especially if children are involved (and there are) because I will teach my children what my morals/values/beliefs are, without mockery or interference from a spouse. I also would not want an SO wasting their time (and my time) trying to push me into conversion. I have strayed from this decision before while dating, more then once, and it does not work for me. Although I do have friends who are atheist or have a religion different than mine.
